Okay, I finally get my beers sent out this weekend. I sent beer to RIClark, Superiorbrew, and PirateAle. Each package contains two 22oz bombers; one Pale Ale and one Northern Brown.

Aroma:
Good malt and hop combination on the nose. I expected a bigger hop influence.
10/12
Appearance:
Great color, nice amber golden with super clarity and nice lacing head.
3/3
Flavor:
Very malty, almost more like an ESB than what I would expect from a PA. No of flavors though.
15/20
Mouthfeel:
Great bosy, and carbonation smothe creaminess on the finish.
4/5
Overall:
Technically beautiful. The flavor, though is not what I expect in a PA. It is still a damn tasty beer, and I'm glad I got to taste it.
40/50

Aroma:
Little to no hops, but great maltiness on the nose.
10/12
Appearance:
Clean, clear amber brown color appropriate to the style, no noticeable Chill haze.
3/3
Flavor:
REally nice maltiness in this beer. I detect an unusual "twang" on the finish which really detracts from the overall goodness.
14/20
Mouthfeel:
Good carbonation and head retention, but it seems a little thin on the finish.
3/5
Overall:
This beer had an unusual aftertast that I find unpleasant. It may just be my palette. I have the same taste in some of my Partial and extract recipes. Did this happen to be an extract batch? If so I would love to know the brand DME or LME used.

Pale Ale, Great smell Dark Reddish in Color with great Clarity. Taste was awesome with great maltiness and distinct Hop flavor. Overall I liked this beer a lot and wish I had more, It was great.

This was not an extract batch but it was one of my first AG attempts. I didn't notice the flavor you mention until your review and now I think I see what you are talking about, I wonder if it might be to do with the water chemistry.
